Skinfood Gold Caviar Line

Skinfood's Gold Caviar Skin care line
The line includes the essentials, Toner, Emulsion(moisturizer) at least 2 kinds of creams, Ampoule, Serum and Dual eye creams.
I have the full size of the Serum, and the eye creams. All of which I love!

Gold Caviar Toner

Clear Toner, though in the little plastic sample it might look orange, but that's just the bottle. It has real flecks of gold dispersed within it. The toner is thicker than western toners, but not a gel (*sigh* Gel toners are my favorite).

Scent- Perfumed, exactly what the scent is I can't tell, it smells like generic perfume. However, the scent isn't strong, and once it applied it dissipates quickly. It doesn't bother me in the least, plus without perfume, would it smell like fish(caviar) EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Texture- Not a gel, but thicker than western toners. It has little flecks of gold in it! yay! They do not show up on the skin once the toner has been applied.

Effectiveness- A nice light toner. The smell is faint, and the texture is nice. I've used this Toner sooo many times. I've gotten countless samples of it! I really do enjoy it.

Buy?- Maybe. It's on the expensive side for Skinfood, and it's not a gel toner. I just prefer a gel (no cotton pad need for application!). But on the other hand, its really gentle, makes my skin feel a bit softer, and the only lightly scented. If anyone is thinking of picking it up, you really can't go wrong.

Gold Caviar Emulsion, Gold Caviar Collagen Cream, Gold Caviar Lifting Prime Skin

- I lumped the three together in one review because they are all so similar, they are just variations of moisturizers from the same line from Skinfood. Therefore, the scent is all the same, and the same as the Toner and Serum. Its a light perfumed scent. Not strong or offensive, or even distinct. 

I have the cavair emulsion (moisturizer), the Gold Caviar collagen cream, the Gold caviar lifting prime skin, plus I think there is a gold caviar cream.... What the difference between all of them is....

Not much.

The Gold Caviar emulsion is the runniest and the lightest. But still a med-heavy moisturizer.

the Gold Caviar lifting prime skin is thicker.

The Gold caviar collagen cream seems the same as the lifting prime skin.

The emulsion and collagen cream are the most similar, they both absorb quickly, without leaving a white cast.

The Lifting prime seems to be a different composition.

If you look at the picture, it leaves a white cast.

Beyond that the differences are small. I like Lifting prime the least. It leaves a residue, and the white cast. Which is really peculiar. I can't figure out why it's so different.

It's a toss up between the emulsion and the Collagen cream. The cream if you want more heavy duty moisture, and emulsion for something lighter.

Gold Caviar collagen serum

I love this Serum, I love it so much I bought the full size! See the review Here.

Skin Food- Gold caviar Collagen Double Eye Serum

Skin Food- Gold caviar Collagen Double Eye Serum
Price: 28000 won ($28 eep!)

Since some of my main skin care concerns are centered around the eye area, ie. Dark circles, bags, and the fear of wrinkles, I am always hoping to find the Holy grail of Eye creams.

The skin food Double Eye serum set comes pretty darn close.
I had been lemming the set for ages. But I never spend more than $20 on an item unless its from a brand, or line that I know I will like.
So even though I am truly falling in love with Skin food, I didn't buy this set.

My boyfriend bought it for me! *sigh* The poor man, I have definately been dragging him around shopping too much if he knows exactly what to get!

The Gold Caviar Collagen Double Eye Serum set comes in a pretty book style box, with a trasparent over leaf, and gold ribbon. Skin food generally goes for minimalistic packaging. The Gold Caviar system is their headliner product line, and their most expensive.  Inside teh box  is a duo of eye treatments.One for the upper eye area, and one for the lower eye area.

Oddly enough the individual bottles are plastic, and not nearly as nice as the glass bottle for the more inexpensive serum. They are however done in the same style, with the graduated gold and purple bottle, with the gold cap.

The dispensing system is a generic pump system. which in thsi case is perfect, because One pump is about enough to do one eye. So two pumps, and you have exactly the right amount of product per use.

The two eye serums (upper and lower) are distinctly different. The lower being a thick white cream, that is quite moisturizing, but also not too heavy. It absorbs well without excessive patting.
the upper eye serum is more liquid, and almost gel like. It doesn't have the cream texture, but is light and watery.
I use it at night of course, but also sometimes in the mornings, if my eyes are puffy. It does quite  diminish puffy eyes!

As a set, I really like these eye creams.  I find my dark circles and bags under my eyes are reduced with a few days constant use, and both items absorb really well.
Sadly, they haven't defeated dark circles. But since the team goes along way to diminishing them, and making my eyes look firmer and tighter, I am definitely going to re-buy the set.
